Well, it is June. When did that happen and what happened to the last quarter of the school year? I can't believe that today is my last day of work before my 7-week summer break. Wow.
It is June and that means that I get to dog-sit for the next 2-3 weeks while my friends are in Minnesota at Mayo Clinic for their 14-year-old daughter's open heart surgery. It's been a 14 year journey for them, but this past year has really been a difficult time and an emotional roller coaster for them. I know that they are ready for this to be done with so that they will hopefully be able to get back to their new normal - whatever that may be. I know that they are afraid of the unknowns and that it is tough to give up whatever control they may have in this situation.
What has been wonderful to see is the community support and outpouring of love and help from their work places, church, and town. God has definitely shown His face in the midst of all of this. Yet, it is still difficult at times to truly trust Him for who He is and what He can do.
If all works out, I'll be heading up to visit with them next weekend with some other work peeps. I don't want to be in the way, but want to be able to give them a respite in the midst of the long hospital stay if possible. Guess that will be my vacation from dog-sitting too! It'll all work out I'm sure!
Please pray for Katelyn's surgery and recovery over the next few weeks.
Blessings to you all,
Candice
